When buspirone first came on the market it was shown in clinical trials to have effectiveness equal to benzodiazepines in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder without the sedation that frequently comes with benzodiazepines, so it was a much heralded drug when it first came out.
Noun. 1. genome-the ordering of genes in a haploid set of chromosomes of a particular organism; the full DNA sequence of an organism; the human genome contains approximately three billion chemical base pairs.
DEFINITION of 'Genomics'. The study of the genome, which is the complete set of the genetic material or DNA present in an organism. Genomics studies all genes and their inter relationships in an organism, so as to identify their combined influence on its growth and development. The field of genomics attracted worldwide attention in the late 1990s with the race to map the human genome. The Human Genome Project (HGP), completed in April 2003, made available for the first time the complete genetic blueprint of a human being.
